The Dudley News is a local free newspaper which has served the Dudley area of the West Midlands, England since February 1985. It succeeded the Dudley Herald.
The newspaper is currently edited by Paul Walker with a sports section edited by Chris Flavell. It is owned by the Newsquest (Midlands, South) newspaper group.
Although the newspaper was created eleven years after the creation of the modern Dudley borough, it only covers Dudley and the neighbouring towns of Sedgley, Coseley, Brierley Hill and Kingswinford. People living in the Stourbridge, Wordsley, Lye and Pedmore areas of the borough receive the Stourbridge News, while those living in Halesowen and Rowley Regis (which is actually located in neighbouring Sandwell) receive the Halesowen News.
